How to create flash menu themes

[indianos69]

First of all you must put the .swf flash menu you want
onto tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash
Just follow the steps:

1)Find the theme (.thm) you want to use flash menu

2)Download TUGzip from TUGZip - The Free Archiving Utility
and install it onto pc

3)Rename the theme extension to TAR file
If you cant view the name extensions of the files on
your pc, then you need to enable it in windows
(in file explorer Tools-Folder options-View and then
uncheck 'Hide extensions for know file types' )

4)rename theme.thm to theme.tar ( theme.thm is for example)

5)Double click on theme.tar and will open the archive in
TUG Zip. You will now see a number of image files and a
Theme.xml file

6)Extract all the contents of the archive to a folder on your
pc and then right click to theme.xml file. Go to Edit or use
an XML Editor.

7)Just after the line starting:
Sony_Ericsson_theme version=”4.1”
Enter this line <Desktop_style Type="File" Source="carbon.swf" />
(¡carbon.swf¢ is an example.. Write the name from the flash menu
you put into tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/ )

8)Once you have done this you need to click save file
and make sure that you save it as an .xml file

9)Now highlight all the images and the .xml file
Right click and select Add to..

10)Select TAR from the drop down and save it

11)Finally rename the TAR file extension from step 10 to .thm
Send this file to your phone;););)

If you want to modify the ordinary menu download ThemesCreator 3.17

binfilth I think flash lite is only player, you must use something like flash mx to edit/create flash menus

I doing like that but i do it in a different way. i open the xml in notepad and then I save it but when I open the it goes back as it was before. Why doesn't it work? I put the <Desktop_style Type="File" Source="carbon.swf" /> before the after the sony ericsson and before the background color.


nvm, I got it to work.

Yes, look at the patch section and you may find it for your phone.

I believe there is, because I have mine there. I'm using a w810i however. If you need the patch for w810i send me a message and I'll upload/mail it back.

Also, OP:

Do you have to use TUGZIP? or can you use other archiving programs?
